ElmerJFudd Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 They feel it competes with NI's Komplete... "Total Studio MAX 3 packs a staggering 14,600 instruments across the SampleTank 4 MAX, Hammond B-3X, Miroslav Philharmonik 2, MODO Drum and MODO Bass plug-ins. You also get the full version of Syntronik Deluxe, which is a massive collection of sampled vintage synthesizers. All in all, the size of the library has more than doubled to over 440 gigabytes. For mixing and mastering, the bundle includes no less than 487 effects, ranging from the popular AmpliTube 5 MAX for all your guitar and bass needs to the T-RackS 5 MAX mastering suite, MixBox, ARC 3 and Lurssen Mastering Console. This means that you not only get a huge selection of creative effects for production, but also a full mixing and mastering environment and even a room correction system. They weren"t kidding when they said 'complete'. To help you get started with this huge collection, IK Multimedia says that they"ve included thousands of presets. Total Studio 3 MAX also includes a new IK Product Manager application, which handles the installation and authorization process and keeps everything up to date." $899.99 https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ts3/ [video:youtube] Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchop Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Upgrades at $499. I've got Total Studio 2 MAX but have separate licenses for MODO Bass and Hammond B3X, so I'm not seeing the option to merge all of that into a Total Studio 3 license. Guess I could put those up for sale to offset the cost. Quote I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchop Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 For anyone following this thread: The IK Multimedia group buy going on right now is BANANAS. I didn't upgrade Total Studio, but I did upgrade to Amplitube 5 and have since been pulled down NINE more free products. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/25gb/ Get in quick as I think it ends tomorrow!

KuruPrionz Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I have quite a bit of IK software and by now I am feeling overwhelmed by plugins in general. The "buy one, get umpty bajillion" offer is great if you want or need it, I've done it before and picked up 10 free plugins. Aren't they going to run it into September if they get to 10 free plugins by the end of August? I'll take that chance and am still not sure if I want in or not this time around. Lately, I've been acquiring specific bits of gear and instruments so I can make things sound "real" going in. Could just be another phase but I am intentionally seeking out good sounding devices with simple controls and finding I enjoy using my fingers to adjust sounds. I recently got a nice hi-hat stand and a pair of Paiste 802+ hi hat cymbals are on their way. I've got MODO Drum and it's very good but I want to hit stuff!!!!

dalpozlead Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I've sttoped using Synthtronik just a few minutes after I realised it had some major flaws when playing in MONO... leads are impossible to play (key trigger issues...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Man, I love a good deal and the group buy is indeed bananas as far as value. I simply don't have a need for enough of their stuff, and money is still money. I've proven that good deals lead to me having a zillion plugins that I rarely use! I have b-3x already for ipad and it's great but I really can't justify it for my mac. Is it better than Logic's organ? Sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchop Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 All I really wanted was MODO Drum so everything else was icing. Quote I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 The current group buy appears to be doing well. They keep emailing that they"re up to 6 for 1, 7 for 1, etc. etc. Wether that"s true or not doesn"t matter, they seem to be successfully inspiring daily sales over the course of the month, working toward a good quarter. Only a few things in the batch I"d like to have. But if I take the plunge, lots of other things to toy with.

johnchop Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yup, I picked up delay, reverb, and Leslie effects; a couple of the electric piano libraries + sampletron; MODO Drum; the room correction software; four calling birds and ten lords a-leapin' Quote I make software noises.

Fleer Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If anyone"s interested, I"ve got some cheapo doubles (serials) to enter the group buy at $80 tier value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Looks like they've reached their happy place to keep going through September. 10 free if you buy 1 right now. I still don't see anything I really want and nothing I really need. I already have lots of IK plugins though. If you don't, this is quite a deal.

ElmerJFudd Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Haha. Very effective. They are pushing out the emails almost daily now. Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I used to complain I didn"t get their emails. Not anymore. Complain, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Ampy0o Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I used to complain I got their emails. Not anymore. Complain, that is, .....since my email software has learned everything from them automatically goes to the trash. A few OK things but every single one of them has a caveat worthy of choosing an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Fiala Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I didn't really love the sound of the iPad version of Syntronik. Is the mac version any different in terms of sound? Quote Tom F. "It is what it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchop Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 In my view Syntronik is not the reason to join this deal, and I find Sampletank overall very hit and miss (and crash-prone on my Win10 PC). There are just better synth offerings out there, with far more sonic control than what a sample playback engine offers. I would more heartily recommend MODO Bass and MODO Drum, B3X, Amplitube, and a good many of the Tracks effects. Quote I make software noises.
